JSON to TOML Converter

Scan to open this page

Paste JSON and get TOML instantly — nested objects become [section] headers, arrays of objects become [[array-of-table]] blocks, and TOML's real constraints (no null, no mixed-type arrays) are flagged clearly instead of silently producing invalid output.

How it works

  1. Paste or type JSON on the left
  2. TOML output updates live on the right, following TOML v1.0 conventions
  3. If your JSON has a null value or a mixed-type array, you'll see exactly which field TOML can't represent

Frequently asked questions

Why did I get an error about a mixed-type array?

TOML requires every element in an array to be the same type. A JSON array like [1, "two", true] mixes number, string, and boolean, which isn't valid TOML — split it into separate fields instead.

What happens to null values?

TOML has no native null type, so a field with a null value can't be converted as-is. Remove the field or give it a real value first.

How are nested objects handled?

Nested objects become [section] headers, and arrays of objects become [[array-of-table]] blocks, per the TOML v1.0 spec.

Most JSON to TOML converters let a mixed-type array through. TOML doesn't actually allow that.

Most JSON to TOML converters let a mixed-type array through. TOML doesn't actually allow that.

TOML has two real constraints most tools gloss over: no native null, and arrays can't mix types. We built a converter that stops and tells you exactly which field is the problem.
